Ribbon Cutting for K's Bridal

I was so sad last year to learn that Barre would no longer have a bridal shop. A bridal shop is where I started my long journey and career in the wedding industry, and locally-owned small boutiques are where I always encourage brides to buy their gowns. So when I learned through Kerri of Simply Planned that a new bridal shop was going in downtown, I immediately reached out to the owners to offer help and any photography services they might need.

Kate and her mom Kathy decided to open K's Bridal and Formal Wear after Needleman's closed last year, which is where Kate used to work. They are in the same space that Needleman's used to be, although it is quite obvious as soon as you walk in that they have made some major improvements and renovations to the space. It is much more open now, and the newly-painted walls are fresh and bright. The lighting is great, perfect for brides to try on the dazzling array of gowns that K's Bridal offers. Kate and Kathy are really focusing on offering designers that are otherwise not available in Vermont, such as Alfred Angelo's Disney line as well as their Modern Vintage line, Sophia Tolli by Mon Cheri, and David Tutera's bridal gown line.

Bridal gowns are just one piece of what they are offering at K's Bridal. Tuxedo rentals, bridesmaid dresses, flower girl dresses, bridal accessories, prom gowns, and even a small gift section round out the selection nicely. They are stocking gowns in many different sizes and colors, and there are plenty of dressing rooms to accommodate whatever you might need to try on.

Kate told me that they plan on offering trunk shows in the future, which is a fun experience and a way to see the entire current collection of a designer's gowns. They have lots of gowns in stock already, but many more are on their way to the shop. I am sure that any bride in Central Vermont (and the rest of the state!) will be able to find just what she is looking for at K's Bridal!

I wish Kate and Kathy all the best in their endeavor and look forward to working with them on lots of future projects. Check out their store's website here, and show them some love on their Facebook page as well. Best of luck, ladies!
